Rechta (pronunced rish-ta) is a dish comprising of flat noodles and a chicken sauce (Marga bil djedj). Many people buy rechta noodles from the market already made - as many women add to their income by selling them. Rechta noodles keep very well in the freezer. You'll need a pasta machine for this recipe... -- posted by Um Safia

Pressure Cooker Risotto With Vegetables Du Jour

Tue, 17 Jul 2007 15:16:09 -0400

This is a good recipe to use up those extra vegetables you have in your fridge at the end of a long week. It's super fast and always gives good results. The long way is better (isn't it always?), but this method will work in a pinch. One word of caution: I have tried being super lazy and putting raw veggies in the cooker with the rice initially but the results are pretty mushy. It's definitely worth the extra effort to steam the veggies in the microwave or steamer and add them when the rice is done. -- posted by Eat Your Vegetables!

Beef and Barley Soup

Sun, 29 Jul 2007 20:55:16 -0400

I created this soup as a result of a pantry and freezer clean-out/organization. My family loved it, and not only had seconds, but also ate it for breakfast the next morning! I make it in my 7 quart Hawkins Futura Pressure Cooker, but this could also be made using conventional means, just use less water and cook longer. The use of the steak may seem unconventional, but it adds great flavor and texture. To extend the servings or change the texture, use additional broth, onion, barley, potatoes or any combination of these. -- posted by PhoenixReborn

Cowboy Chili With Homemade Chile Powder

Mon, 06 Aug 2007 16:03:16 -0400

You don't have to make this recipe in a pressure cooker, brown meat as it say's, but just finish cooking it in a crock pot. Although the pressure cooker is nice for camping and cooking over the fire. Be careful, its very easy to make this chili way to hot. Also I found that blue corn tortilla chips are better for this recipe. Add chili beans if you like. Chili Powder: Difficulty: Easy Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 5 minutes Yield: approximately 3/4 cup Chili: Difficulty: Medium Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 35 minutes Yield: 4 servings -- posted by sage, rosemary, and tyme

Pressure Cooker Double Dhal

Sat, 29 Sep 2007 12:32:50 -0400

I call this double dhal because it has two different types of pulses and both sweet and regular potatoes. The method and seasoning are based on Moong-Chole Ki Dal, by Usha Rana which can be seen in its original form here: http://www.boloji.com/recipes/05.htm The main change was to include the potatoes because I wanted a whole meal in a pot. I also trebled the recipe so I could freeze it off in batches. I have a fairly big pressure and this lot barely fit so if you have a small one, maybe halve the recipe. -- posted by veggieGwen

Boneless/Skinless Chicken Thighs - Pressure Cooker

Sun, 02 Mar 2008 16:48:45 -0500

I buy boneless skinless chicken thighs from Costco in bulk. I like to cook them in my pressure cooker and then freeze them. Whenever I need a quick meal, I just pull out a cooked thigh and add to pasta, make a sandwich etc. etc. Recipe is for 4 chicken thighs, but the timing should be fine for 10 - 12 thighs, just check after original 10 minutes and cook more if needed.

Chef Char Char's Chili

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 00:01:29 -0400

As far as I am concerned this is still a work in progress, I have been prefecting this for about 15 to 20 years. I try to do something different everytime I make this, its a work in progress. If it doesn't work out, I'll scratch that and go back to the original recipe. For a short time I had a bunch of friends that paid me to make them a pot of this every Sunday for a whole Football season. Each time they made me make it hotter. They loved it! I heard a rumor that one of the guys was selling it by the bowl at the Stadium when they were tailgating. But that was never confirmed, but also never denied either? My girlfriend never ever ate chilli, she hated it. Until I "made" her try mine out of guilt. Sometimes guilt can work in your advantage. Well, she raves about this to all of her friends, she has comissioned my chilli services to parties and I have had to say no. Sorry! Anyway, I want you to try this, Play with it yourself. I believe that you will love it. There is not one person that has tried my chilli that did not like it. I promise you will love this! -- posted by Chef Char Char

Greek Rice and Spinach for Steaming in Pressure Cooker

Thu, 29 May 2008 00:39:17 -0400

I love almost everything that Toula Patsalis included in "The Pressure Cooker Cookbook". It is important to read her instructions carefully. "Bring to HIGH STEAM" is different from "under HIGH heat, bring to HIGH PRESSURE". (I ruined a paella by assuming she meant High Pressure!). This recipe calls for steaming. This is Mediterranean cuisine, suitable for the Lenten season. -- posted by KateL

Black and White Cheesecake (Pressure Cooker)

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 02:23:21 -0400

From Lorna Sass's book "The Pressured Cook". This recipe requires a 7-inch springform pan. It is a very rich, crustless, chocolate marbled cheesecake. Sometimes this cheesecake emerges from the pressure cooker looking "rustic" (with some peaks and valleys on top), but the flavor is dependably wonderful! This cheesecake will get firmer and denser when refrigerated overnight. For best flavor, bring to room temp before serving. This cheesecake freezes well. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE reduced fat products in this recipe, they contain more water and will not set up properly! Cooking Time includes 15 minutes for natural release. See NOTE for Lemon Cheesecake variation. -- posted by Dee514

Summer Borscht (Lower Fat)

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:54:45 -0400

This is a modified version of Ina Garten's Summer borscht that I found on foodtv.com. I have replaced whole fat sour cream and yogurt, with low fat. I also made it with 3 beets instead of 5, and prepared them in a pressure cooker. I eliminated the sugar from 1/4 cup, to 2 tablespoons. For flavor and texture, I added sauteed onion and carrots. And for authenticity, I prepared it with beef broth. Last, I increased the amount of beet liquid used, thus increasing the portion size. -- posted by jessica327

Makhlouta 1 - Vegetarian Hearty Lebanese Lentil & Bean Soup

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 14:16:45 -0400

Makhlouta is a delicious filling soup which has been made traditionally in Lebanon for hundreds of years - usually it has 7 main pulse/grain ingredients. This is the pressure cooker method but you can do it the traditional way using a large pot & simmer the soup until the lentils, beans & chick peas are tender. Feel free to add some stock / bouillion cubes to this soup along with any additional spices you might like. I have added chicken to this on occasion too. This is the first version of Makhlouta, I will be posting another version too. Time to make doesn't include overnight soaking of the pulses. -- posted by Um Safia

Lironah's Beef Stew

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 19:13:39 -0400

This is a modification of a recipe I learned from my parents. It's one of my family's favorites; we cook it about every other month. This is the onion lovers'/onion haters' version: it pleases both. For an onion hater only version, simply use 1 tbsp onion powder in place of the small onion. Onion lovers may dice the entire onion in step 1, if they desire. I've used all kinds of potatoes for this recipe, and they all taste good. We prefer to leave the skins on, especially when using red potatoes, though our favorite are the Russets. The cabbage is the biggest change from my parents' recipe, and my sister claims that mine is the better version. It boils down so much that my cabbage-hating friend didn't even notice it. -- posted by Lironah

Nicks Pressure Cooker bowl of Red - Traditional Texas Chili

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 01:39:07 -0500

This is DYN-O-MITE Chili. Chili has a colorful history and is not a Mexican dish at all. It has roots in Spain and Portugal where a meat stew with peppers was made. Variations on this eventually made it to San Antonio, TX which many boast as having the best chili and is the home to the beginning of the Chili cookoff craze. Tradition has it that true Texas chili does not have beans. So this recipe does not include beans. You can vary the recipe by adding chopped tomato for a chunky rather than smooth stew. Serve with chopped jalapeno, cheddar cheese, and sliced green onion for garnish. This recipe originated from a discussion with a friend and customer about chili. -- posted by Chef Nick #2

30 Minute Vegetable Soup

Pressed for time? With a pressure cooker, you can have this soup in a half hour. Ingredient quantities vary in my house, but this recipe is flexible to use up leftover veggies in the fridge. Great to service with pasta as a vegetarian sauce, or with egg noodles as a soup. If you reduce the water during the cooking, you get a thicker, stew like recipe. -- posted by crowmama

Lentils With Chorizo Sausage

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 01:45:52 -0500

I love lentils! I like this recipe more than the other lentils and chorizo recipe I submitted, because the flavors are blended much better. Translated from "Atrévete a cocinar" by Karlos Arguiñano. NOTES: (1) Original measurements are 1 tumber-glass full (or two deciliters) for the lentils, and a tsp is literally a teaspoon, like what you use to stir your coffee. This author doesn't split hairs when it comes to measurement and doesn't recommend graduated containers or scales to cook. (2) As always, if you find the lentils are getting thick, add more water. If you don't have a pressure-cooker, the amount of water needed will increase from 6 dL to 1 L (or 3 tumblers to 5 tumblers), and the cooking time increases from 6-8 minutes to 40-45 minutes. -- posted by Valeria

Add more water or stock if you wish to have a thinner soup. Pearl barley is the variety most commonly sold in supermarkets. Natural food stores offer hulled barley, which is slightly less refined and cooks in about the same amount of time. -- posted by Chef #1109421

Vegetable Beef Soup - Pressure Cooker Recipe- Bill Knapp's

One of my memories of going to Bill Knapp's was looking forward to having a bowl of their delicious vegetable soup. This recipe is not spot on, but I feel it's close, but nevertheless satisfying.

I've fallen in love with my pressure cooker and was anxious to try this. It's now my new favorite way to prepare a whole chicken. This recipe is a combination of ideas I found online, and you certainly could use any seasonings you want. The chicken turns out somewhere between roasted & stewed, and is delicous, tasty & moist. I served it with brown rice tossed with some dried basil & moistened with some of the juice from the chicken. You can have a real feast in 45 mins. tops! -- posted by LitaLou

Fabada Austurianas

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 02:23:25 -0400

an authentic recipe of the spanish dish, fabada. i enjoy the dish for it's rich, meaty flavor which comes from the broth that contains saffron and juices from the meats. fabada beans are a special white bean that is grown ONLY in Austurias, Spain so it's very hard to obtain which makes it a little expensive. -- posted by Louis Pujol

Sweet & Sour Sprouted Mung Beans

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 01:52:57 -0400

This is an Indian hearty dhal (lentil soup) from the state of Gujarat, that was taught to me by mother-in-law. The preparation requires some planning, but the results are excellent. Two notes: 1) the original dish was meant to be 'Saatvic' (a type of Hindu food considered pure), which usually means no onions or garlic, but it is tasty both ways and; 2) the recipe calls for jaggery, which can be bought in a local Indian grocer, but sugar works almost as well. -- posted by Meera

Ajiaco Bogotano (Chicken and Potato Soup, Bogota Style)

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 10:22:07 -0400

Ajiaco is a typical dish in Colombia. It has a lot of potatoes since Bogota is in the mountains and potatoes are plentiful. This recipe calls for yucca which can be found in the produce section or frozen (Goya). If you cannot find it, just use Yukon gold potatoes, both will all but disintegrate and thicken the broth. Corn on the cob is cut into 1 inch rounds and thrown into the soup. They are easier to cut if you rotate the corn, eventually the cob will break. Once you remove the cover, you'll get a burst of sweet corn aroma. An avocado half is served either on the side, so you can take a spoonful of avocado and dip it in the soup. -- posted by Ice Cool Kitty

This is a home canned version of a Cuban Black bean soup. If you want it creamy, you can puree a portion of the beans after canning (when you heat for seving). I adapted this from a traditional Cuban recipe for use in home canning. It is pretty good, I think. -- posted by gahboo

Vegan Lentil Soup in 20 Minutes

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 14:25:45 -0400

I admit, the first time I used a pressure cooker I was a little afraid. I left my studio and stood on the other side of the door to avoid severe burning and disfigurement if my pot of legumes exploded. I called a friend to ask her if I was doing it right. But now I see the pressure cooker like a trusted friend who only wants to save me some valued time. So when I saw this lentil recipe in Veganomicon by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and the preparation time of 1 hour, I was so glad I had a pressure cooker to cut the time by nearly two-thirds, borrowing a technique from the Spanish and the Lentils with Chorizo Sausage Recipe (Recipe #342592). The first thing I did was skip the step where you sauté the onion and carrots for 10 minutes. It's unnecessary, and you'll find that my method makes a soup with a smoother, more pleasant consistency by cooking the vegetables whole or halved, then removing and pureeing them afterwards. My kitchen has a surplus of brown lentils, so those are what I used. I'm going to keep the brown lentils in the recipe because I don't know if French lentils require more liquid. One thing I want to try for next time, since I used bouillon cubes, is to break them up and try to dissolve them in step 2 rather than prepare the stock ahead of time, and I plan to cut down the salt next time. I find the best way to seed plum tomatoes is to cut them in half and sweep out the seedy parts with your index finger. The soup you'll get from this is addictively delicious and filling, and you'll feel like a genius for owning a pressure cooker. -- posted by Valeria

Note: Prep time does NOT include marinating time... The flavors of the southwest infuse a tender and juicy beef brisket recipe that cooks in your pressure cooker.

I replaced my electronic pressure cooker so I'm on the hunt for a variety of good recipes for it. I found this one on a few different web sites but don't see it on Zaar.
